kumāriketi vikhyātā tasyā nāmnā prakathyate | idaṃ kaumārikākhaṃḍaṃ caturvargaphalapradam
Siya’y nakilala bilang “Kumārikā,” at dahil sa kanyang pangalan ay tinatawag ang bahaging ito. Ang Kaumārikā Khaṇḍa na ito’y nagkakaloob ng bunga ng apat na layon ng buhay.
Nārada (continuing)
Tirtha: Kumārikā (as eponymous sacred focus)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Arjuna (Dhanaṃjaya)
Scene: Nārada proclaims the fame of ‘Kumārikā’ and praises the Kaumārikā-khaṇḍa as bestowing the four puruṣārthas; the scene emphasizes sacred naming and textual sanctity.
A sacred narrative-section is not merely history; it is declared spiritually efficacious—supporting all four puruṣārthas.
The broader Kaumārikā sacred landscape is implied; the immediate māhātmya context continues from Barbarī Tīrtha.
None explicitly; it is a doctrinal promise of results (phala) from engagement with the Khaṇḍa.
